Li Yao watched the players who came to the trial for a short time, and after finding that there were no special pearls, he talked to Nell. Orsi said goodbye and went home to see the baby.

As for today Stephen. Curry, the cute god, surprised Li Yao, and Li Yao didn't take it to heart. It will take a few more years for Curry to grow into the adorable god who will shock the league in the future.

And his biggest enemy now is the black mamba, the god of war who occupies the same territory as himself, only by pulling Kobe, the king, off the throne, can he Li Yao become the new king of Los Angeles, and only in this way can Li Yao wait for Stephen as a king. Curry's challenge in the future.

Back at home, Li Yao went to Margot as usual. The baby in Robbie's womb made out for a while before he began to prepare for his own affairs.

Li Yao called Da Yao as soon as possible, in fact, after the Clippers and the Rockets completed the deal, Li Yao called Da Yao as soon as possible and communicated briefly with the big brother.

And Da Yao can also feel from the huge movement of the Clippers this time that the current Clippers team is definitely going to draw up Li Yao as the core, and he will definitely not be the core of the team if he is traded to the Clippers this time, but it doesn't matter, after all, it is not that he has not played this little brother in the Chinese men's national basketball team, so Da Yao is determined to assist Li Yao, the little brother, and strive to let the two of them get a championship ring he dreams of in his career.

This time, Li Yao called Da Yao to discuss the 25th Men's Basketball Asian Championship held in Tianjin in August this year.

Although Da Yao was plagued by injuries, it was not like the season reimbursement in his previous life, only three months of injury period, Da Yao could even catch up with the men's Asian Basketball Championships, so Da Yao said in the last call that he would play in the men's Asian Basketball Championship again after returning from injury, to avenge the defeat of the Chinese team the year before last.

"Brother Yao, I know what you think, but what I want to say is that just one Asian Championship, you still need Brother Yao to come out? You just sit on the bench and watch how the little brother can regain the championship we lost in '07. This is the last time Li Yao made a promise to Da Yao after hearing Da Yao's words, and after that, he persuaded Da Yao well.

In the end, after taking into account Li Yao's suggestion and the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, Da Yao decided to follow Li Yao's suggestion and give up the idea of participating in the men's Asian Basketball Championship.

But Li Yao called this time in the hope that Da Yao could go to the men's Asian Basketball Championship with him to witness their revenge.

Although Da Yao has been traded to the Clippers by the Rockets, due to the investment in Houston over the years, it still takes a certain amount of time to sort out, so Da Yao can't come to Los Angeles to join Li Yao in a short time, so Li Yao will call Da Yao today to discuss the time to return to China together.

In the end, after the two discussed the specific time to return to China, they ended the call.

Li Yao then called Sun Dasheng, who had just won the championship ring, and told Sun Dasheng about the return time that he had just discussed with Da Yao.

And Li Yao also learned from Sun Dasheng's mouth that the Lakers didn't seem to be planning to renew his contract, and Li Yao also sighed, he didn't expect that in the end, Sun Dasheng still couldn't escape the fate of being laid off by the Lakers, and Li Yao didn't know how to comfort Sun Dasheng, after all, with his strength, it is really difficult to gain a foothold in the current NBA.

After briefly comforting Sun Dasheng, Li Yao hung up the phone again.

Time passed day by day, and Li Yao did not relax himself during this time, and still maintained daily training.

During the period, shortly after celebrating the championship, Kobe Bryant also devoted himself to training with Li Yao again, and this kind of momentum also made Li Yao completely admire this black mamba.

Finally, on June 25, 2009, the annual draft was once again held at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York City.

Li Yao is also following the general manager Nell. Orsie and head coach Mike. Dunleavy travelled to New York with them, and they will choose their two favorite players today.

It is worth mentioning that, unlike the situation in the previous two years, there is not a single Chinese player among the players participating in the draft this year.

And one thing that happened during the period also made Li Yao a little crying and laughing, that is, among the 103 players who originally signed up for this draft, 55 players actually felt that their market was not good this year after the trial, and not long ago on June 16 at 17 o'clock announced that they would withdraw from this draft conference, and there were only 48 players left to participate in the draft.

This matter Li Yao was also on the plane from Nell. Orsie, the general manager of the team, learned about it, and Li Yao was also a little crying and laughing, you must know that this situation occurs in the draft every year, even the one he participated in last year, but it is far less terrible than this time, and even had to force the NBA to recruit some players to come to the emergency again, Li Yao can imagine David. How ugly Stern's face would have been.

After everyone was seated, David. The old man Stern also walked slowly onto the podium as he did last year.

"Welcome to the 2009 Draft, where the 30 NBA teams will be selecting their favorite players today, and if you don't get selected, don't give up, because you still have a chance in the future, and Summer League will be your path to the NBA. Okay, so I won't talk nonsense, and then I'll ask the Minnesota Timberwolves to pick their first-round pick. "David. After a few brief words, Stern announced that he had officially entered the topic of today.

This time, Li Yao's mood sitting off the court was different from last year, looking at the nervous looks of the rookies off the court, Li Yao had an urge to laugh, you must know that he was set by the Heat team before the draft began last year, so Li Yao did not have a trace of nervousness at that time.

There is also one player this year who is not as nervous as last year's Li Yao, and this person is this year's top pick Blake. Griffin, because this year's No. 1 race was nowhere near as scorching as last year's, and in Blake. After the Timberwolves trial, Griffin also got a promise from Timberwolves general manager David Kahn that the Timberwolves would definitely pick him with the first pick. Griffin was completely seated in the Diaoyutai at this time.

When the staff handed the Minnesota Timberwolves envelope to David on the podium. After Stern, the old man gently opened the envelope, and the slow movement made Li Yao in the audience couldn't help but want to complain, it's been so many years, old man, you can't change the routine, it's this routine every year, you don't bother, people are annoyed.

But although Li Yao complained in his heart, David. Stern is still following his own spotless routine for decades.

"In the 2009 draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves, who had the No. 1 pick in the first round," the old man curled at the corners of his mouth, interrupting his words and glancing at everyone present.

The result made David. Stern was somewhat embarrassed except for Blake. Griffin looked at himself expectantly, and the rest of the players in the draft looked at him like idiots.

David. Stern also reacted at this time, this year's situation is different from previous years, and the candidate for the top show can be said to be only Blake. Griffin alone, his own routine is no longer suitable for use at all.

"Ahem, the Minnesota Timberwolves have chosen Blake from the University of Oklahoma. Griffin, let's give him the warmest round of applause. After the old man reacted, he first coughed to hide his previous embarrassing scene, and then did not hesitate to say the Timberwolves' choice.

David. As soon as Stern's words fell, Blake. Griffin stood up excitedly from his seat and walked briskly onto the podium.

The reporters and other players sitting on the court also sent their best wishes to this year's draft pick.

"Thank you to the Timberwolves for their choice, and I will use my efforts to prove to you that the Timberwolves made the right choice this year." From David. After Stern took the baseball cap representing the Timberwolves and gently rested it on his head, Blake Brown. Griffin said in a high-spirited manner.

"Ho, it seems that this champion show has a lot of ideas." Li Yao looked at Blake on the stage. Griffin, chuckled.

For Li Yao's ridicule, Mike. Dunleavy and Nell. Orsi also chuckled in return, to Blake. It's no surprise that Griffin's remarks have been seen in many rookies over the years.

As time went on, the Memphis Grizzlies also got their wish to pick the big center Hashem. Tabitt, and the Thunder also chose James. Harden is a two-way position, and the Sacramento Kings did not choose Terrick out of Lee's expectations. Evans.

The next thing is the choice of the Clippers, and the Clippers did not hesitate and directly sent their choice.

"The Los Angeles Clippers selected DeMar DeRozan from the University of Southern California with the fifth pick in the first round." David. Stern also immediately announced the Clippers' selection.

And DeMar DeRozan heard his name from David. As soon as Stern shouted, he immediately stood up from his seat and hugged his family excitedly.

The sixth-pick Rockets relied on a draft pick traded from the Clippers to select Johnny. Flynn's dual-energy position also announced that the Rockets are about to enter a rebuilding period.

And the player who is most interested in Li Yao this year, the cute god Stephen. Curry was also not unexpectedly drafted by the Warriors.

When Adam. After Xiao Hua announced that the Clippers selected Patrick Beverley with the 12th pick in the second round, Li Yao's task of this draft conference is completely over, and the next thing is to wait for the team to hone in the summer season.
